About 4 years ago it was cold every day. The warmest day I hunted that year was 6, the coldest morning was -30 and breezy. I can honestly say I don't think I enjoyed hunting a single day of that season. Rather it was more of an obligation. That was a few years after I moved to MN and before I really understood what cold weather hunting was. I've since started trying to spend some money here and there on better cold weather stuff. This spring I finally broke down and bought an IWOM XT.

In November of 2013 the low on muzzleloader opener was -20 and the high was -15, it was one of those clear no wind days.

When I was young and full of pi$$ and vinegar I hunted when it was so cold that when I went to my stand in the dark my flashlight beam was frozen and I couldn't turn it off!
But seriously - probably about -10*F. Now if I get up and it's that cold, I just go back up stairs and nestle back in bed with my wife (or my lab) if my wife is in FL. |
I don't allow my rotties in the bed. They BOTH snore louder than me!

I hunt west central Wisconsin, One year it is 60% above than the next is - 20% I will go out to -5 but that is it The deer are smart enought to hunker down and don't move unless you kick them out.
